Review of Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)

By Susang. (6) on 09 Oct 2008

A movie that will have you belly laughing. Poppy is one smart cookie. Sally Hawkins is brilliant…

Review of Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)

By Glenn Whipp (553) for Los Angeles Daily News (1,272) on 09 Oct 2008

Happy-Go-Lucky doesn't condemn the optimistic way Poppy approaches life. It's wondering why there aren't more people like her…

Review of Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)

By Jeffrey M. Anderson (3,573) for Combustible Celluloid (2,644) on 09 Oct 2008

So joyous and uplifting that you just want to pluck it off the screen, put it in your pocket and carry it around with you…

Review of Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)

By Geoff Berkshire (602) for Metromix.com (1,085) on 08 Oct 2008

Your tolerance for it all will depend heavily on whether you consider Hawkins' mannered performance insufferably cloying or irresistibly charming…

Review of Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Filmcritic.com (3,164) on 08 Oct 2008

There are no house-call abortionists or down-on-their-luck families who only find hope in the next pint, just a chipper Finsbury Park bird…

Review of Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)

By Byebye (1) on 07 Oct 2008

I'm sorry but Sally was, in fact, annoying to me. If the movie is her performance, the movie deserves to be failed…

Review of Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)

By Armond White (604) for New York Press (561) on 07 Oct 2008

It is a rare blessing to have movies like Happy-Go-Lucky and Rachel Getting Married arrive back to back…

Review of Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)

By David Fear (910) for Time Out (7,510) on 07 Oct 2008

We take Mike Leigh's gifts for granted, knowing the collaborative nature of his filmmaking will inevitably produce something brimming with…

Review of Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)

By Alonso Duralde (1,351) for MSNBC (243) on 06 Oct 2008

Indeed, playing someone sunny without making them totally irritating might be more of a challenge than portraying Lady Macbeth, and Hawkins…

Review of Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)

By Austin Kennedy (419) for Sin Magazine (286) on 06 Oct 2008

I was ready to give it a negative review, but when the movie turned out to have a point, I realized that it was kind of brilliant…

Review of Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)

By Janniea. (1) on 06 Oct 2008

Truly a life changing experience. Sally Hawkins is brilliant…

Review of Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)

By Tim Grierson (1,482) for EmanuelLevy.Com (2,771) on 27 Sep 2008

Deceptively lighthearted, Mike Leigh's new film offers a sober, poignant look at the difficulties of maintaining happiness in our harsh modern…

Review of Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Lessons of Darkness (465) on 22 Sep 2008

[Leigh's] legitimately uplifting film benefits from its own refusal to unduly sentimentalize or moralize…

Review of Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)

By Harvey S. Karten (2,210) for Compuserve (1,948) on 22 Sep 2008

This adeptly-made movie will wake us up to how cynical we really are (in comparison to Mike Leigh's the title character)…

Review of Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)

By Frederic And Mary Ann Brussat (3,072) for Spirituality and Practice (3,072) on 21 Sep 2008

One of the best portraits of an enthusiastic person ever put on the screen…

Review of Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)

By Gina Carbone (187) for Seacoast Newspapers (NH/Maine) (187) on 19 Sep 2008

He may be taking a breather, but this is still a Mike Leigh actors' showcase; expect to hear more about Sally Hawkins (and the amazing En-rah-ha…

Review of Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)

By Kim Voynar (107) for Cinematical (752) on 17 Sep 2008

Hawkins is delightful, connecting with the audience when a lesser actress would have been merely cloying in the role…

Review of Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)

By Ed Gonzalez (1,102) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 14 Sep 2008

This gangly brunette is bananas, and the music on the soundtrack is perfectly in sync with her kooky mode of social expression, so that she…

Review of Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)

By Katey Rich (412) for CinemaBlend (829) on 08 Sep 2008

Poppy is almost a real person, waiting for us somewhere in London, humming to herself and wearing her favorite tan boots…

Review of Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)

By David Nusair (3,363) for Reel Film Reviews (3,339) on 02 Sep 2008

a slightly uneven yet thoroughly engaging slice-of-life effort from writer/director Mike Leigh…
